India are coming in on a roll in ODIs. They have a lot of flexibility batting deep while having a variety of all-rounders. The loss of Jasprit Bumrah though leaves them without a trump card as India now look to find one in their spinners, playing to their strength. Shami is in the side though and he could fill in with the responsibility, if he finds his regular form. Bangladesh start a new era with Shakib Al Hasan missing. Litton Das is out of the squad as well and Bangladesh are left with a challenge given their minimal experience. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmadullah are still going strong though and will be hoping for a nice swansong. They were a part of the side which gave its peak performance, making the Semi-Finals in the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Bangladesh vs India Key Players

Mohammad Shami

Shami is back as the attack leader. His bowling did lack its usual bite in the previous game but with added responsibility on him he could get back to his wicket-taking best.

Mahmadullah

Mahmadullah continues to carry the batting line-up. He stepped up in the West Indies earlier last year and is a good batter down the order still. 

BAN vs IND Match Tips

India will start favorites with Bangladesh still looking inconsistent.

Match Preview

India will play all their group-stage matches and potential knockout games (if they qualify) at the same venue. Dubai recently hosted 15 matches of the ILT20, and how the pitches behave could impact India's performance in the tournament.

If the pitches turn out to be slow, India's strategy of picking five spinners might give them an advantage. Experienced batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the top run scorers in the Champions Trophy among active players, will need to lead from the front if India wants to go all the way.

Bangladesh’s Challenge

Unlike some other teams, Bangladesh enters the tournament without injury concerns. While their recent 50-over form hasn’t been strong, they have a history of troubling top teams in ICC events.

Under captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh could be a surprise package. A couple of key wins might be enough for them to secure a spot in the next round. Veterans Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim bring valuable experience, while Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman will lead the pace attack. All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has been in fine form, could play a crucial role.

In the previous edition of the Champions Trophy, Bangladesh reached the semi-finals but lost to India in their only meeting in the tournament’s history.

Squads

Bangladesh: Nazmul Hossain Shanto (c), Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah Riyad, Jaker Ali Anik (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Parvez Hossain Emon, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nahid Rana.

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Can Bangladesh pull off an upset, or will India maintain their dominant record? Stay tuned for live action!

Mohammed Shami leads their pace bowling attack, which is among the best in the world. Bangladesh's batting lineup has historically struggled against Indian bowling. India has a better head-to-head record against Bangladesh, winning 7 of their last 10 games. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.

India captain Rohit Sharma pulled off a sensational one-handed catch during the second Test against Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, sending the Monday crowd into a frenzy. After two days of rain, Rohit's athleticism brought much-needed excitement to the game, leaving both teammates and spectators in awe.

Litton Das dismissed in style

Standing at mid-off, Rohit Sharma showcased his impeccable timing as he leapt to intercept Litton Das's powerful drive off Mohammed Siraj’s bowling. The ball seemed destined for the boundary, but Rohit’s quick reflexes and a perfectly timed jump saw the ball stick into his right hand. Litton Das, who had scored 13 runs, couldn’t believe his bad luck as his beautifully timed shot met its premature end in Rohit’s palm.

Bangladesh stumbles as Rohit celebrates

Rohit’s catch marked the fall of Bangladesh’s fifth wicket at 148, adding to their batting woes. Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah had dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim for 11 on the fourth morning, further solidifying India's advantage. Meanwhile, Mominul Haque managed to complete his half-century, providing some resistance for Bangladesh.

Having already secured a commanding 280-run victory in the first Test in Chennai, India leads the two-match series 1-0. Rohit’s moment of brilliance has brought them closer to sealing the series as they continue to dominate the match.

<![CDATA["BCB is not a security agency like the police or RAB," says BCB chief about Shakib’s security]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/bcb-is-not-a-security-agency-like-the-police-or-rab-says-bcb-chief-about-shakibs-security/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/bcb-is-not-a-security-agency-like-the-police-or-rab-says-bcb-chief-about-shakibs-security/ Fri, 27 Sep 2024 05:15:25 GMT

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president, Faruque Ahmed, has stated that the board cannot guarantee Shakib Al Hasan the personal security he requested in order to play his final Test match at home. Shakib, who announced earlier today that the Dhaka Test against South Africa in October will be his last, raised concerns about his safety upon returning to Bangladesh.

Shakib’s final Test in doubt amid security concerns

Shakib Al Hasan, one of Bangladesh’s cricketing icons, expressed his desire to play his last Test match on home soil, provided that Cricket South Africa (CSA) proceeds with the tour of Bangladesh. However, uncertainty surrounds the tour due to political unrest in Bangladesh during July and August, which led to the deaths of hundreds of people in anti-government protests.

Shakib, who was a member of parliament in the Awami League-led government—the target of these protests—has not returned to Bangladesh since the fall of the government on August 5. The cricketer was named as one of 147 individuals in a murder case linked to the protests. With these legal and security challenges in mind, Shakib requested the BCB to provide assurances of his safety if he returns for the Test.

Speaking on the matter, BCB president Faruque Ahmed clarified that the board cannot ensure Shakib’s personal security, stating, "Shakib's security is not in the board's hand. The board can't provide an individual with personal security. He has to take a decision on that. His security has to come from the highest level of the government."

BCB’s limited role in security and Shakib’s future

Faruque also emphasized that the BCB is not a security agency, such as the police or Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and therefore lacks the authority to handle matters related to Shakib’s legal case. "Since his case is a sub-judice matter, we can't really do much about it," he added.

Despite these concerns, Faruque acknowledged the emotional weight of Shakib’s decision but refrained from attempting to change his mind. “Shakib is going through a difficult phase of his life. I didn't try to talk him out of the retirement. He thought that this was the right time for him to retire. I respect his decision," he said.

Shakib’s legal standing in Bangladesh remains uncertain, but Bangladesh’s law adviser, Asif Nazrul, previously commented that he hopes Shakib would not face arrest if he returns to play. This sentiment was echoed by the BCB's cricket operations chief, Shahriar Nafees, who expressed confidence in Shakib’s safety based on these assurances from government officials.

During a press conference in Kanpur, Shakib reiterated his concerns about safety. "I am a citizen of Bangladesh, so I shouldn't have any problem going back to Bangladesh," he said. "But my concern is my safety and security in Bangladesh. My close friends and family members are concerned. I hope things are getting better. There should be a solution to it."

As Shakib’s potential final Test looms, the cricketing world awaits to see whether he will be able to fulfill his wish of bidding farewell on Bangladeshi soil. For now, his future remains uncertain, contingent on both the CSA tour and assurances from the highest levels of government regarding his safety.

During Day 3 of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh, Indian batter Shubman Gill humorously teased his teammate Mohammed Siraj while fielding. The light-hearted moment occurred late in the day when Bangladesh was in their second innings, with Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque at the crease.

As Ravichandran Ashwin bowled the 22nd over, Gill was positioned at silly point for the new batter Mominul. While walking to his fielding spot, Gill shouted, “MohammedSirajOfficial id hai, baaki sab fake hai,” in a playful jab at Siraj. This comment referred to a previous viral video where Siraj announced his official Instagram handle in the same manner, a clip that frequently resurfaces on social media.

Gill and Pant's heroics lead India to dominant victory

After being dismissed for a duck in the first innings, Shubman Gill made a stunning comeback, scoring a brilliant century in the second innings. His knock of 119 from 176 balls, featuring ten fours and four sixes, helped India pile on a massive lead. Gill’s partnership with Rishabh Pant proved crucial, as the duo put on a 167-run stand for the fourth wicket. Pant also contributed significantly, scoring a blistering 109 from 128 deliveries, marking his sixth Test century.

India's mammoth second-innings total gave them a commanding lead of 514 runs, setting up a daunting target for Bangladesh.

In response, Bangladesh was bowled out for 234 runs, with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto being the highest scorer, with a valiant 82 off 127 balls. However, it was Ravichandran Ashwin who stole the show, claiming his 37th five-wicket haul with figures of 6/88 in 21 overs. His all-around brilliance, which included a century in the first innings, earned him the Player of the Match award for the 10th time in his Test career.

India comfortably won the match by 280 runs, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The second Test is scheduled to begin on September 27 at Green Park, Kanpur.

India extended their dominance in Test cricket at home with a resounding 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Sunday, September 22. After putting up 376 runs in the first innings, India bowled out Bangladesh for a paltry 149, securing a commanding 227-run lead. In the second innings, India added 287 more, setting an imposing 515-run target. Despite skipper Najmul Hasan Shanto’s fighting 82, Bangladesh crumbled to 234 all out, handing India a convincing win to open their Test season.

Though Bangladesh showed early promise in the match, dominating the first two sessions, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja led India’s resurgence. Ashwin’s crucial century and six wickets, combined with Jadeja’s all-round contributions, turned the tide in India’s favor. Jasprit Bumrah’s lethal bowling further dismantled Bangladesh, giving India control after the first innings. In the second innings, centuries from Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill ensured India’s dominance before the bowlers sealed the match.

Let’s take a closer look at the standout performances from India’s heroes in this commanding win:

Ravichandran Ashwin (113 runs, 6 wickets)

Ashwin was instrumental in India’s victory, delivering an all-round masterclass. Coming to bat when India was struggling at 144 for 6, Ashwin’s partnership with Jadeja (199 runs) turned the innings around. Ashwin’s splendid knock of 113, his 6th Test century, set up a solid platform. His brilliance continued with the ball as he took 6 crucial wickets in the second innings, ensuring Bangladesh’s collapse and earning him the Player of the Match award.

Ravindra Jadeja (86 runs, 5 wickets)

Jadeja proved once again why he is one of the most reliable all-rounders in Test cricket. His 86 runs in the first innings, coupled with five wickets across both innings (2 in the first, 3 in the second), anchored India’s dominance. Jadeja is now just one wicket away from reaching the milestone of 300 Test wickets.

Rishabh Pant (148 runs)

Returning to Test cricket after nearly two years, Pant made a memorable comeback. His quickfire 39 in the first innings was overshadowed by a superb 109 in the second, as he took on the Bangladeshi bowlers with his trademark aggressive style. Pant’s form is a huge boost for India as they gear up for the Australia Test series later this year.

Shubman Gill (119 runs)

Despite an early setback with an eight-ball duck in the first innings, Gill roared back in the second innings, scoring an unbeaten 119. This was his 5th Test century, reinforcing his status as one of the brightest young talents in Indian cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah (5 wickets)

Bumrah’s incisive bowling played a key role in dismantling Bangladesh’s batting lineup. His four wickets in the first innings set the tone for India’s dominance, and his crucial breakthrough in the second innings, dismissing Zakir Hasan, triggered Bangladesh’s collapse in their 515-run chase.

India now heads into the next Test with a 1-0 lead in the series, with momentum firmly on their side.

After a lengthy absence of 625 days from Test cricket, Pant has crossed the 50-run mark, showcasing his skill and resilience as he makes a significant comeback.

An impressive return

Rishabh Pant’s journey back to Test cricket has been nothing short of inspiring. Having spent nearly 700 days away from the format, his performance is exceeding expectations. Currently, he is part of an 83-run partnership with Shubman Gill, reflecting their strong collaboration at the crease. Notably, this marks Pant’s 12th Test fifty, adding to his impressive tally of seven scores above 50 in the last 11 innings. Amid the excitement, a video of Pant displaying a unique gully cricket style while padding the ball has gone viral, further endearing him to fans. As the match progresses, both players are poised to build on this strong foundation for India.

As the 2024 T20 World Cup looms, the excitement is palpable. In less than 12 hours, cricket fans will witness the North American neighbours, the USA and Canada, clash in the opening encounter at Dallas.

Meanwhile, India takes its first look at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York, facing Bangladesh in their only warm-up game before the main event.

This match is crucial for India as it prepares for conditions similar to those they will encounter in their league games against Ireland, Pakistan, and the USA.

Match Overview

Team India won the match 60 runs.

India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, won the toss and opted to bat, aiming to put runs on the board in challenging conditions. Notably, star batter Virat Kohli was absent, having arrived in New York only the day before.

See Also: Did you know about the 180 years old cricket rivalry between USA and Canada?

India’s Batting Performance

India posted a competitive score of 182 on a slightly sticky batting surface. Early in the innings, Sanju Samson fell for just one run, while Rohit Sharma made a promising start but was dismissed after scoring 23.

The highlight of India’s innings was Rishabh Pant’s aggressive fifty. Returning to international cricket, Pant looked in sublime form, smashing 53 off just 32 balls before retiring.

Contributions from Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya bolstered India’s total, with Hardik scoring a brisk 40 off 23 balls and Suryakumar adding 31 off 18.

Bangladesh’s Bowling Analysis

Bangladesh experimented with various bowlers, finding some success. Mahedi was particularly impressive, taking a wicket and conceding only 22 runs in his four overs.

Shoriful’s performance was also noteworthy, though his injury poses a concern for Bangladesh. Surprisingly, Shakib Al Hasan had an off day, which proved expensive and failed to contain the Indian batters.

Bangladesh Batting Performance

In a crucial warm-up game ahead of the T20 World Cup, India secured a comprehensive victory over Bangladesh. The match offered both teams a chance to assess their strengths and areas needing improvement before the tournament begins. While India capitalized on the opportunity to fine-tune their strategies, Bangladesh faced challenges that could impact their World Cup performance.

India’s Performance: A Strong Showing

Time Spent in the Middle

India will be delighted with the time spent in the middle, with several key players getting valuable match practice. The batting lineup performed well, building a solid foundation for the team.

Key Contributions

  • Rishabh Pant’s Return: Pant made a successful return to international cricket, scoring 53 off 32 balls before retiring out. His aggressive batting against spinners provided India with a strong start.
  • Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya: Both players showcased their form, with Suryakumar scoring 31 off 18 balls and Hardik contributing 40 off 23 balls.

Bangladesh’s Batting Struggles:

Bangladesh never seemed intent on chasing the target, particularly after losing early wickets. The top order’s vulnerability to the new ball remains a significant concern.

  • Mahmudullah’s Effort: Mahmudullah was the standout performer, scoring 40 runs and showing resilience in an otherwise lackluster batting display.
  • Shakib Al Hasan’s Form: Shakib’s struggles with both bat and ball could be a worry for Bangladesh heading into the World Cup. His performance will be crucial for the team’s success.

Bangladesh’s top order was rattled by India’s seamers, with the team reeling at 41/5 at one stage. Only Mahmudullah and Shakib managed to put up a fight, scoring 40 and 28 runs, respectively.
